Illamasqua DWS Nail Varnish
($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is described as a “cement grey” with a cream finish. It’s a gorgeous shade of gray that doesn’t lean brown–it’s that perfect shade of gray skies. There’s a tinge of blue in it, but it’s very subtle and only picked up in really bright, direct light. Zoya’s Dove was the closest shade I could think of, but it leans browner–less blue.
The formula was exactly what I expect of Illamasqua: excellent. It’s thick without being goopy, so it delivers amazing color coverage–almost opaque in a single coat, though I did two here. It flows evenly across the nail without bubbling or streaking. I typically get a week of wear without minimal tip wear with Illamasqua’s polishes.

I really love this shade 🙂 Too bad we cant buy Illamasqua here in Finland
If we could Id definitely would buy this one 😀
Illamasqua ship worldwide, so you should be able to order it from their online store! I’m in Norway, and have ordered from them.
I think Essie polish in Chinchilly is a verrry close match! Maybe check that out 🙂
Chinchilly is a bit purple. I’m wearing it now! Lol
I get compliments every time I wear Chinchilly – One of my HG/desert island nail colors!
Ah, it looks like the Dutch sky in the summer.
Wow I love it!
This is my favorite grey nail polish ever. I love it to death, very worth it. <3
I love Illamasqua polishes in general. If I had to pick one brand for the rest of my life… Illamasqua. Worth the extra money, IMO.
Excellent!! I’ve been in the mood for some serious grey polishes, and I think I might pick this one up soon. 😀 I love Illamasqua.
A little to blue grey for my taste, but it’s pretty
reminds me of MAC’s on the prowl.. love it. pure grey polishes are difficult to find!
O no, this shade reminds me to much of the summer we’ve been having over here… I can’t remember what color the sky is supposed to be…
And yes, it is still a very pretty nail varnish:-) But seriously: can somebody ask the clouds to give the sun back?
I own Zoya’s Dove, but I would consider buying this one, too. I would definitely look nicer with my complexion.
Major fan of this shade. This might be my first Illumenesque polish I finally get. I have to watch my pennies however as have major surgery coming up in Oct with my huge share to pay as well as 1 month of Residency Inn charges so I stay in the area post op per MD orders. But maybe I can sneak in another order from Sephora between now and then. It’s not the right shade I need to get however for Sept Ovarian Cancer Awareness. I am on a major hunt for the right teal/aqual for their shade.
AWAK – must be coming out later? It’s not on the Sephora web site.
Ooops spoke too soon – it’s there only on a gray color dot and description says CEMENT GRAY! It’s so not that. The blue really is coming through over the gray. I would never buy it not having see this swatch! I hate color chips!
Christine, your nails are looking long and beautiful!!!
it looks like Wet cement from Sally Hansen
I have a Bettina one that looks EXACTLY like this one! It’s only 1$ and it lasts forever 😀
This looks like essies Chinchilly polish! very cute
I’m wearing a very similar shade to this right now. It’s by NYC Color and it’s called Sidewalkers.
Love this shade!
Why 4/5 on the packaging?
The handle isn’t as comfortable to hold/use as it could be.
I have this shade and I love it so much!! Plus it’s almost perfect in one coat and lasts for a week as you’ve said.
she’s beautiful! maybe she belongs on my wishlist…
